Although with bad news of Chubb missing out on the Sunday night game, the Browns have good news to spare too. As the wide receiver, Jarvis Landry has returned from the injury reserve and head coach Kevin Stefanski doesn’t want to rule out the possibility of activating him in their tough fixture on Week 6.
“I think anytime you’re without a player of Nick’s caliber, guys have to step up,” Stefanski said. “It’s never one person that replaces Nick Chubb. Obviously, we feel real strong about Kareem and what he’s capable of but guys have to step up.”
